International Spy Museum
The International Spy Museum is the only museum of its kind in the world – a privately owned, publically-accessible museum devoted to espionage from around the globe and spanning history. Discreetly tucked away behind a historic brick façade in the respectable Penn Quarter of Washington, D.C., the museum has been a very hot site since it first opened in 2002. With a strong emphasis on the importance spying has played throughout history, the International Spy Museum is about way more than just James Bond and other pop culture spies – almost all of the incredible stories here are real!
- Start with a Briefing Film and a session in “School for Spies”
- Go undercover once you graduate to the rest of the museum, including galleries tracing the history of espionage from the earliest days of history to modern times
- Follow the stories of real life spies, from their missions to their historical importance to their ultimate fates, good or bad
- See real life artifacts, from disguised weapons, to cipher machines, to secret writing with invisible ink
